espressi
- 1Plural of espresso. Less common than espressos.
The barista lined up six espressi on the counter for the morning rush.
They generally prefer strong espressi to milkier coffee drinks.
Note
An Italian plural brought into English with the coffee itself: the -o ending turns to -i, while the regularized espressos stands beside it. It counts servings, not the substance. Three espressi are three cups, as in a bartender's call of "Three espressi?" or two espressi and a cognac after dinner. When espresso names the coffee in general, as an uncountable noun, it takes no plural at all.
espressi is a form of espresso
